'The Haves And The Have Nots' Season 8 opened with a bang. David Harrington (Peter Parros) got cleverly set up by Alyssa, who, if you remember, had been stalking him in the last few episodes by standing naked in the fountains outside his house. But hey, every naked lady standing in a fountain might have a sad story to tell. Years ago, to save her from domestic abuse, David had to seperate her from her sister, and now she's reeking of revenge.

She sleeps with David, and then slams the door on herself, screaming rape. She runs out of the house and David drags her back to the house, flings her onto the floor and demands what she wants. She reveals all her plans to him and David is one step ahead. He plays the recording back to her and she realises that she's stuck. So, when the police come she has to retract her story.

Fans are wondering why David hasn't learnt his lesson of messing with diabolic women, considering he was married to Veronica (Angela Robinson). Others say she trained him well. "Look at David pulling a Veronica move on that scamming ass hoe, she trained him well. #HAHN," a fan tweeted. "David loves dramatic women! #HAHN," a fan tweeted.

"David, you dumb as hell. You better get Veronica for your lawyer, she may be crazy, but she'll take care of this crazy chick. Oh, unless she hired her. #HAHN," another tweeted. "David loves messing with these crazy women. You would’ve thought he learned from being married to Veronica! #HAHN," another wrote. 

"And David thought Veronica was crazy!! That’s what he gets for falling for Alissa’s tricks. #HAHN," a fan wrote. "I think David is going to kill someone this season. It’s either going to be Alissa or Veronica. Just watch. #HAHN," another tweeted. 



 



 



 



 



 



 

Meanwhile, don't get your hopes up because Wyatt (Aaron O' Connell) is still alive, despite having both his wrists cut. Veronica is still sleeping with the pool boy because she's sure that he's upto something. There's a lot in store for HAHN, and this is just the beginning of the season.

'The Haves And Have Nots' airs on OWN on Tuesdays at 8 pm.
